‘As an elite Australian gymnast, it is important that I utilize every edge that I can. Looking after both my physical and mental health is of the upmost importance to me. When my mind isn't right my body can't perform, and when my body isn't right it becomes a huge challenge for my mind. It all helps me to maintain my strength and perform at my most optimal level.’ - Georgia-Rose Brown, Australian Gymnast on the importance of thinking of health as a whole.

This Pike will work your upper/mid back like no other Pike! The force of the bed pushes you into a handstand that only your shoulder stabilisers can maintain the position and correct form. It needs to be performed on a single spring and the flow needs to be consistent for up to 15 reps to get the full benefit. When the body starts to fatigue the real muscle recruitment pattern kicks in. Make sure you are using your glutes on the descend so you hit your plank position correctly every time. 👌🖤🖤#fluidform#fluidformpilates#reformerpilates#pilates#pilatessydney#pilatestransformation#pikepilates

Each Wednesday for the next few weeks, I'm going to be showcasing some moves from my upcoming STOTT PILATES Sydney Workshops. This clip features some of my favourites from Athletic Conditioning on Reformer level 4. I'm really excited to be presenting this particular workshop as it's brand NEW to Sydney 😀. If you'd like to join me on 11th/12th November (the workshops are open to all mind/body, health & fitness professionals) please contact @pilates360 for full details #workshopwednesday#pilateseducation

My all time favorite weapon of choice: Reverse Kneeling Floor Lunge! 💥 So challenging, but so effective! It looks easy with your knee on the carriage, your foot on the floor, and a foot bar to hold onto if ya need it, but it feels TERRIBLE (in the best kind of way!!) 📸: @lainielil
